5 Netflix And Amazon Prime Shows You Should Be Watching

I'm as bad as the next person when it comes to re-watching shows on Netflix. Shows like The Office and Shameless have us hooked and we can't seem to watch anything else, even with the hundreds of shows that streaming services like Netflix and Amazon have to offer. Still, there are a few shows worth checking out:

1. "Sneaky Pete", Amazon Prime

Do you remember Phoebe's brother Frank from Friends? Well, he's starring in his own Amazon show about a con-man who's just been released from prison and is trying to repay a debt to Bryan Cranston to save his brother. In order to do this, he pretends to be his prison roommate, Pete, and lives with Pete's family in order to cover up. It will make you realize your family is not as dysfunctional as you think, and it has all the intrigue and back-and-forth of a good con.


2. "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", Netflix

If you like musicals, this show is for you. Rebecca Bunch is hell-bent on making her ex-boyfriend fall in love with her, a storyline that most of us can relate to. It's quirky and completely original, with a song sang by the cast each episode, that will have you singing to yourself and wondering if you're as crazy as Rebecca. Seasons 1 and 2 are on Netflix right now so get on it.


3. "Love", Netflix

Season 2 of this dry, yet endearing show is being released on March 10th. The first season is only 10 episodes so you can catch up quick. It follows two people living in L.A. and trying to navigate their jobs as they, you guessed it, fall in love with each other. The humor is extremely sarcastic, and most often found from Mickey's off-beat Australian roommate, this show is worth the watch.


4. "Santa Clarita Diet", Netflix

If you like zombies but The Walking Dead is too much, this is the show for you. Drew Barrymore plays a recently-turned zombie, while her family is just trying to live a normal suburban life. Not the greatest show ever made, but it has heart and it will make you laugh, even as you find yourself completed disgusted by Barrymore eating a leg.


5. "The Man in the High Castle", Amazon Prime

If you've ever wondered what the world would be like if the Allies hadn't won World War II, this show is for you. It's an Emmy-winning show currently in its second season, and it has all the intrigue and political plot twists you could ask for while you wait for House of Cards to come back.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
